"if the president can reach a broad deal that settles some of the disputes over entitlement spending and tax code and govgiving the government borrowing authority to last through much of the term, he can use that energy to forge a bipartisan, rise on these other big issues to." guest: that is a huge point. one point that ms. mcconnell, republican leader in the senate, has made over and over aga

she did not get into it with mccain. i think the approval ratings you are seeing for hillary clinton is because she has transcended politics. she has been secretary of state, a states woman working and we all see she has worked herself into the point of exhaustion on behalf of our country. once you come back into the political fray and you are opining on divisive political issueatize iss it is a complete different ball game. >> it is physically demanding. anna talks about the travel she does. she was traveling the world. she has everything covered here. but she is going to be 69 years old in 2016. that was the same age of ronald reagan when he was elected. if joe biden were elected he would be the oldest elected. >> you can't avoid that issue. they have answers to it and certainly hillary clinton would because there is precedents with ronald reagan and dwight eisenhower. i think it would be more difficult for joe biden. i wouldn't say it is an insurmountable obstacle. >> i want to go to republicans 2016. i wonder if this

and i loved that john mccain of course didn't have the nads to say this to her, he goes on foxes and friends and says her response saying it didn't matter how these people died. that was stunning. first of all she didn't use the words it didn't matter. she said what difference does it make? during the interview mccain suggested that the adoring media will protect clinton and the white house -- >> yeah, because they have been so easy on the clintons. after eight years of having republicans hate this lady, and then 12 years of having them love her, now it's like a time machine back to the '90s. that whole hearing was more '90s than my face no more [ inaudible ]. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: it really is ridiculous. they obviously are taking her out of context on purpose. they know she wasn't saying it didn't matter that americans died. >> no it was a polite way of saying they are dead and you are exploiting it. remember in 2001 republicans said it was treason to ever criticize a president during wartime. in 2001 bush can sit there in nursery school. they used it in 2001 and in 2012 they

>> all eyes quickly turned to tough-talking war hero, republican senator john mccain, saying allowing women to serve in combat units is the right thing to do. for women like these in boot camp at paris island, the change will open up more than 2,000 jobs that had been available only to men. no changes made in toughness or strength standards. >> if they can meet the qualifications for the job, then they should have the right to serve. >> defense secretary leone panetta pointed out 150 women have been killed in combat, serving in iraq and afghanistan with men. >> they're fighting and dying together. and the time has come for our policies to recognize that reality. >> reporter: women can move immediately to medium-size combat brigades as pilots, medics and the like. small frontline combat platoons will not be open to women, maybe for years until commander can propose specific units that might remain men only, like the navy s.e.a.l.s or delta force commandos the retired lieutenant general boykin of the family research council say all front line units should remained closed. >> my concern
